A Starting Point

Happy New Year! 2012 marks the beginning of big changes.  Where does one begin when you want to transform ALL in 1 Year!  With a LIST!  A list of all the projects you want to complete...All the goals you want to accomplish...All the things that must get done!  

So Yesterday I sat quietly in my favorite chair, while the rest of  my family watched a movie and wrote  my list. I listed some things in detail and some thing in general.  I probably missed a few things and I wrote somethings that are not realistic.  

First, I wrote a list of each room in the house then, room by room I listed each thing that I wanted to do in that room.  Some rooms had a few project while others were major over hauls.  This is my project list and I placed it under "Project List" in my home management binder. (more on that in a future post)

Second, I wrote out my meal plan for the week.  (more on that in a future post) This week we are having:

Monday: Porcupine Meatballs (family request before we start back to school) (recipe will soon me added, here)
Tuesday: Chicken Ziti (recipe will soon me added, here)
Wednesday: Tacos!
Thursday: Post roast in the crock pot
Friday: Italian Sausages with peppers and onions
Saturday: Turkey Meatballs
Sunday: Grilled Chicken

Third, I created a chart to see how often I complete my daily goals throughout the month.  This list includes my daily cleaning list, workout goals, and project goals.  Each day I will put a check mark next to the completed item.  At the end of the month and can set a new goal for the new month.  One of the items on the list NO SODA!  There are 31 days in January so I set the goal of NO SODA for 15 days.  Day one is over and I did not have soda so I put a check mark on my chart! YAY! One down, 14 more to go!   I walked on the tread mill too, so another check mark went on the chart for exercise! 

So now I have organized my week, with meals, cleaning schedule, exercise schedule, and a chart to help motivate and keep me on track!  My fun project this week is to take more picture so I can post picture on the blog...always fun to see pictures!
